Cows take over the Forge

We were so happy that the rain slowed down and there were no more reminders of Hurricane Sandy.  The soggy ground had even dried during the day despite no real sun.  But, we'll take it especially since we were initially concerned that Halloween was going to be a rain out.

Before putting on the costumes for trick or treating, the boys got the opportunity to give out some treats to our first visitor, a ninja.  They were watching the door intently to see if anybody would come for treats.  Lots of jumping up and down ensued when he was spotted.

They were very curious about what was going to happen.  Last year, the boys went to only a couple houses and it was just to show off their costumes as we did not accept treats so this was obviously going to be a much different experience.

The boys all ready to go and take over the Forge in their final wear of their cow costumes.  

Our cows are on foot and are ready for treats.

 Connor was adamant about wearing the hat since it was part of the costume. He's really in to details.

Our first house was our neighbors.  The Goetz's let the boys in and they were inspecting all of their figurines and chasing Sneaks, their cat.

Connor told everyone that he came in contact with -- "Happy Halloweeeeen!!"

Getting treats and being sure to say "Please" and "Thank you."  They were so polite and courteous. Definitely proud mom and dad moments.

Yeah for pretzel treats.

 Surveying the scene.

We picked up an incredibly happy Mary Elizabeth on the way.   She was definitely ready for the treats!!!

Walking home.
